Chapter 697 Fork out

Liu Ji suddenly came closer, and Qin Yao, who was hoeing the ground, almost stumbled over him.

I almost couldn't help but raise my hoe and hit him with it.

But someone seemed to have anticipated the danger. He snatched the hoe from her hand and threw it aside. He continued to bend over, with his head resting on her shoulder, sobbing and complaining about the grievances he had suffered in the Imperial Master's Mansion today.

"My lady, you don't know that Si Kong Jian is really abominable. They loudly conspired in front of me to send people to hunt down Wang Jin who left the city, but they didn't kill him, and he was killed by a mysterious master instead. They didn't even investigate and put the blame on your head!"

"You think I can do this?"

"You are my wife, who should I protect if I don't protect you?"

"I told Si Kong Jian that you sleep until noon every day, so how can you have time to help Wang Jin kill the assassins sent by Bai He and his men?"

"But he didn't believe it!"

Liu Ji was filled with anger. He hugged Qin Yao's arms tightly with both hands, refusing to let her pull her hands away to hit him.

He continued indignantly: "I have tried my best to explain it to you thousands of times, but he still refuses to believe that you are so pure and innocent."

"They also said that since you helped Wang Jin once before, you will definitely help him a second time. They said you ruined their plans and you will be in trouble."

Qin Yao paused with her hand on Liu Ji's ear, her expression became stern, and her voice became louder: "He wants me to be in trouble?"

"That's right!"

Liu Ji calmly took his hand off his ear, and finally withdrew from her neck. He took her hand and said, exaggerating:
"Without any evidence, they said it was you, my lady, who did it. They also threatened to lock me up in the Imperial Master's Mansion, waiting for you to fall into their trap."

“I was so angry that I laughed!”

"How can I, a small and insignificant commoner, alarm you, my lady? I know this little bit of self-awareness."

Having said that, Liu Ji chuckled twice and glanced at Qin Yao secretly.

Seeing her nodded seriously in agreement.

Although I had expected it, I still vomited blood in secret.

"Ahem!" He coughed twice in an attempt to regain a little confidence, and waved his hand righteously:
"My dear, if you can't wait for me to come home in the evening one day, don't worry. Don't guess. I must have been forced to stay in the Imperial Master's Mansion by that hypocritical bastard Si Kong Jian."

Qin Yao's eyes flashed dangerously, "He wants to keep you here? Who will wash my feet tonight?"

"Alas~" Liu Ji looked helpless and pitiful, "I have no choice but to let you do it yourself, my lady. After all, the Imperial Master wants to keep you, and a weak scholar like me can't resist."

"But don't worry, my lady. I won't cause you any trouble."

He glanced at her hesitantly and said, "Even if I die, I will never let Si Kong Jian put the blame on you!"

Having said this, Liu Ji looked around to make sure there were no outsiders. Even the little Sanlang who had followed him was taken away by Awang. He immediately leaned close to Qin Yao's ear and whispered:

"Madam, let's take a step back and say, is it true that the mysterious expert who protected Wang Jin outside the city today has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course, I'm just asking. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Liu Ji looked like I was very sensible.

Qin Yao was so angry that she almost laughed, "Don't you know whether I did it or not?"

She stayed at home all day today. It rained so hard during the day and the sky was gloomy that she had no desire to go out.

Besides, wouldn’t it be nice to just stay at home and eat snacks in this kind of weather?
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, he knew it couldn't be her.

"Madam, who do you think it could be?" Liu Ji asked curiously.

Qin Yao said coldly: "How should I know? I don't have clairvoyance."

Liu Ji said "oh" embarrassedly, but seeing that she looked angry, he knew that his eye drops for today were successful.

"Then, Madam, do you want to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion? He is just threatening me today, but if he really doesn't let me leave the mansion tomorrow..."

Liu Ji is a man who is used to pretending.

It's OK to deceive others, but if you want to deceive Qin Yao, your acting skills are still a little lacking. Qin Yao picked up the hoe that Liu Ji had thrown aside.

The ground was very soft after the rain, and a single hoe could bring up a large amount of mud.

She dropped a hoe at his feet, and Liu Ji was so frightened that he quickly retreated from the enclosed vegetable garden.

"Madam, please calm down. Although Si Kongjian wants to force me to stay in your house, leaving you without anyone to serve you, I have always felt privately that it is my blessing to be able to serve you."

Her pair of peach blossom eyes were glistening with tears, and they looked so innocent.

Qin Yao clicked her tongue, supported herself on the hoe handle, and motioned for him to continue.

Liu Ji: "Si Kong Jian really suspects that it was you, my lady, who killed their people."

He never mentioned himself because he wanted her to stand up for him.

She wanted Si Kong Jian to know how much he meant to her.

So Si Kong Jian didn't dare to kill him again.

He just said: "My lady, I am your man in life and your ghost in death. Sikong saw that he threatened me like this, in fact, he was not giving you face and he looked down on you!"

Qin Yao nodded twice, half smiling, and under Liu Ji's expectant gaze, she suddenly sneered: "Very good, then he's dead!"

Liu Ji was waiting for her to say this. He was so overjoyed that he almost jumped up.

But he had to keep his face calm and stepped forward to pat her on the back:
"Lady, calm down. We won't bother with him. There's no need to die. Just scare him and keep him awake at night."

Qin Yao grabbed the hand on his back and put the hoe into Liu Ji's hand. "First, hoe the entire vacant land twice. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow after I plant the vegetables."

Liu Ji was stunned. Holding the hoe, he looked at Qin Yao who was eager to try, and then looked at the sticky vegetable field, feeling a little confused.

Is it so easy to achieve the goal?

He had prepared a lot of speeches, but he had only said less than one-tenth of them.

"Madam, will you really pick me up from work tomorrow?" Liu Ji confirmed in disbelief.

Qin Yao: "Yeah."

If Liu Ji doesn't come back at night, who will take care of her?

Let’s not talk about the accusations for now, but the person who dared to arrest her must be really tired of living!

After confirming again and again that she was really going to the Imperial Master's Mansion to pick him up after work, Liu Ji's eyes really warmed up, "My wife!"

He suddenly felt very satisfied.

He still had some status in his wife's heart - although she only regarded him as a maid who served people, she was no ordinary maid!
When Liu Ji thought about having someone to pick him up from work tomorrow, he couldn't hold back at all. He turned his joy into strength and hoeed the ground, all the while mumbling something with his face almost broken from smiling.

The lady sat aside to supervise the work.

He worked hard in the fields.

The air is filled with bubbles of happiness.

How nice it would be if time could stay at this moment
"I know who it is!"

Suddenly a voice was heard beside me.

The couple looked in the direction of the sound and saw Awang standing under the moon gate, saying with a serious expression:

"I know who that mysterious master is."

The courtyard was eerily quiet for a second.

Liu Ji took a deep breath
I can't stand it any longer!
No one can stop him, he wants to kick out Awang, who is ruining the atmosphere!
